Photographer's Note

San Diego Bay is a natural harbor and deepwater port located in San Diego County, California near the US-Mexico border. Considered to be one of the best natural harbors on the west coast of North America, it was colonized by Spain beginning in 1769. Later it served as base headquarters of major ships of the United States Navy in the Pacific until just before the United States entered World War II, when the newly organized United States Pacific Fleet primary base was transferred to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. However, San Diego Bay remains as a home port of major assets, including several aircraft carriers, of the United States Pacific Fleet, and as a result of base closures beginning in the 1980s, facilities in San Diego Bay are the only remaining major naval base facilities still in operation in the entire State of California.

Hello Eleu,
this time more "maritime"theme,but also this time you did here excellent job!
The pelican and the huge container ship.Superb and really eye-catching juxtaposition.I like also the skyline of San Diego as a backdrop for this scene.

Fine view of San Diego Bay, golden sunlight upon the gigantic Dole freighter (I counted 2 billion pineapples), with more idyllic sailboat anchored in front, and a glimpse of the city's modern high rises behind.

Well done,
Cheers,
Ray

PS: Elena reports in her posting, the Bill of Rights is (was?) at the Chula Vista Marina.

Hello Eleu,
I found the pelican easier than I expected:) I like your picture and its atmosphere very much. The blue sea and sky make a beautiful ambiance and backdrop, the city, the ship and the pelican:) are closely bound in the middle of the frame, the sailboat is well placed off centre and enhances the sense of depth. There's a pleasing sense of movement and I also enjoy the warmth of the light. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hi Eleu,
Superb contrast, the small sailing boat and the large container ship. Excellent shot in superb light, well balanced colors. Nice to see the flying bird along the ship, adding some life to the scene. Well done.

Hi Eleu,.an easy question,the pelican is in flight over the big ship..ehehe..and you caught it very well with good details despite the distance and the fast mouvement,very nice composition.Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

A striking warm cold color contrast between the blue sea sky and the yellow container ship with the added bonus of the pelican in flight. The blue and white yacht in the bottom left contrasts well against the massive ship in the bg. Tfs!

Hello Eleu,
Big vessel cruise alongside the smaller boats had given dynamic scale and is a good contrast collected.
Town on the BG, and the pelican flew are nice added elements to the whole.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Ike
